Chords for The Highway Man

_ [Cm] That's something else I realized too.
I used to be _ [Eb] nervous when I'd be out in front of a lawn, especially by [Cm] myself.
_ Then I realized what my job was. _
But I was like the [Eb] guy, you know, I may be schizophrenic, but I'll always have each [Bb] other.
I was [Cm] that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
fabulous Jimmy. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I was [Bb] a highwayman, _ _ [Ab] along the coach roads I did [Cm] ride,
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
With sword and [Eb] pistol by [Bb] my side. _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ Many [Cm] a young maid [Bb] lost her baubles to [Ab] my trade,
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ Many [Cm] a soldier shed [Bb] his lifeblood [Ab] on my blade.
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ The [Bb] bastards hung me [Ab] in the [Bb] spring of twenty [F]
-five,
_ _ _ [G] _ [Ab] But I am [Bb] still alive. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
I [Bb] was a sailor, _ _ and I [Ab] was born upon [Cm] the tide, _ _
_ [Bb] _ And with [Ab] the sea I [Bb] did abide.
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
I [Cm] sailed a scooter [Bb] round the horn to [Ab] Mexico, _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] I went [Cm] aloft to [Bb] furl the mainsail [Ab] in a blow, _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ And when [Eb] the yards broke off [Ab] they say that I [Eb] got killed,
[F] _ _ _ _
[G] [Ab] But I am living [Bb] still. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ And I [Bb] was a down-builder, _ across [Ab] the rivers deep [Cm] and wide,
_ _ _ [Bb] _ Where steel and [Eb] water did collide. _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ A place [Cm] called Boulder [Bb] on the wild _ [Fm] Colorado, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I slipped and [Cm] fell into [Bb] the wet [Ab] concrete below, _
They _ _ [Cm] _ _ buried [Bb] me in [Ab] that great [Bb] tomb that knows [Eb] no sound,
_ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] But I am still [Bb] around, _ _ _ I guess I'll always be [Eb] around,
[Bb] And around, [Cm] and around, [Gm] and around.
_ [Ab] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _
I'll fly a starship _ _ _ [Ab] across the universe [Cm] divine, _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ And when [Ab] I reach [Eb] the [Bb] other side, _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ I'll find a [Cm] place to rest [Bb] my spirit [Ab] if I can.
_ Perhaps _
[Fm] _ _ I [Cm] may [G] become a highwayman [Ab] again, _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ Or I [Eb] may simply be a [F] single drop of rain, _ _ _
[Gm] _ [Ab] But I will [Bb] remain, _ _ _ _ and I'll be back [Eb] again, _
[Bb] And again, _ [Cm] _ _
[Eb] and again, _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [F] and again. _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Thank you.
[F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] When I was over here [Dm] about, it was [C] more than, probably about [Eb] fifteen years ago,
a guy named [Bb] Ralph McTell,
